'1 '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANTONY- GoLIcK a subject of the-Emperor of Austria-Hungary, residing at the city of New York, borough of the Bronx, in the county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination-Garments, of which the following is a full, clear,

and exact specification.

Myinvention relates to improvements in wearing apparel, and the same has for its object more particularly to' provide a garment comprising essentially two parts which may be so combined as to form jointly several forms of garment, or separated'from each other and one part used independently of the other, and worn as a complete article of apparel.

1 Further, said invention has for its object to provide a garment comprising a bodyportion and a skirt-portion which latter may be detached from said body-portion and readily converted into a pair of trousers.

Further, said invention has for its object- 5 to provide a garment in the form of a coat having a skirt-portion so arranged that thecoat may be worn with the skirt-portion attached thereto to form a long-coat, or the coat-portion may be worn without the skirt.

portion as a short coat or Norfolk jacket.

Further, said invention has for its object to provide a garment having a skirt-portion so arranged and constructed that the same may be detached from the upper or body-- portion of the coat and the vertical edges of said skirt-portion secured together to form a pair of loose knee trousers.

To the attainment of the aforesaid objects and ends, my invention consists in the novel details of construction, and in the combination, connection and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described and then pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, wherein like numerals of reference indicate like parts, Figure 1 is a front view showing one orm of garment constructed according to and embodying my said invention; the same being shown in position upon the wearer as a long coat; F lg. 2 is a similar view showing the skirt-portion of the coat removed and the coatworn 'asa short coat, or Norfolk jacket; Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the coat worn as a short coat and partly thrown aside and the skirt-portion of the garment converted into a pair of loose trousers; Fig. 1

is an inside view of the skirt-portion de-- tac-hed from the coatrportion and spread out; Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail face view showing the inner side.of the coat adjacent to its lower front edge and illustrating the manner of supporting the, drawing string therein; Fig. 6 is a similar view showing the outside view of the coat shown at Fig. 5,.and showing the covering flap thereon; Fig. 7 is an enlarged detail vertical section taken on the line 7-7 of Fig. 6; Fig. 8 is an enlarged detail horizontal section taken on the line 88 of Fig. 1; F ig."9 is an enlarged detail horizontal section taken on the line 99 of Fig. 4; Fig. 10 is an enlarged detail horizontal section taken on the line 10-10 of Fig. 4, and Fig. 11 is a vertical section taken on line 11-11 of said Fig. 4.

In said drawings the garment is shown as 1 comprising essentially a coat-portion 10, and a detachable skirt-portion 11. The coatportion 10 has the general form and Hp? pearanoe of an ordinary coat, and is provided along one of its front edges with a series of button holes 12, and along its opposite front edge with a-series.of but-tons 13 adapted to engage therewith. At the waist line of the coat-portion 10 is provided a flap 14 which extends entirely along said portion, and has its ends terminating at the opposite front edges of the garment. The said'fla-p 14 is relatively narrow, and is secured along its upper edge by a row of stitching 14 to the outer side of the coat, and upon the outer side of the coat-portion 10 below the flap 14 is secured a row of buttons 15. Upon the inner side of said coat-portion, and in line and behind the lap 14 is atranged a strip of fabric which is secured along its longitudinal edges by rows of stitching 16, 16 and forms a casing 17 for a draw string 18, which latter has its ends projecting outof said casing and provided with eyes,19, 19. Below said flap. 14, the coat is provided with the usual ide pockets 21, 21. The detachable skirtqmrtion 11 is substantially rectangular in form and composed of two correspondingly shaped sections 11* 11 sewed together along the upper portion of their vertical overlapping edges at 22. Upon the inner side of said skirt-portion 11, along its upper edge, ire-arranged a narrow strip of fabric 23 which is secured thereto by a plurality of separated parallel rows of stitching 23",

- Along the upper edgeof thereby forming a casing for a draw string 24; having eyes 25, 25 at its projecting ends.

t 1e skirt-section 11, just below the casing 23, is provided a series of vertical button holes. 26 which extend through the strip of fabric 23, and also the material of which saidskirt sections 11 11 is made. The lower edges of the skirt-sections 11 11 are folded inward and upward and secured to said skirt-sections by horizontal rows of stitching 27", 27 to form casings 28* 28 to receive .draw strings 29 29 respectively, which are provided at their opposite ends with eyes 30, 30.

Upon the inner sides of the skirt-sections 11" 11 adjacent to the outer vertical edges,

7 are arranged flaps 31 31 the flap 31 be ing secured along its outer edge to skirt section 11 adjacent to the outer edge thereof by a row of stitching 32*, and provided with buttons 33, and the corresponding flap 31 is secured along its inner vertical edge to the skirt-section l1 by a row of stitching 32", and has its outer edge-free and pro vided with button holes 33". The inner opposing edges, of the skirt-sections 11 11 which are tree, are provided with flaps 34 34* having their straightedges secured to the separated inner edges of said skirt-sections 11 ll by rows of stitching 35. and

, their free edges provided with button holes 36 adapted to engage with the correspond ingly located buttons 33 of thevflap 31*, and buttons 36 adapted to engage with the correspondingly located button holes 33 arranged in the flap 31. Thefiaps 341* 34! are made narrow at their lower portions and become gradually wider toward their upper horizontal edges which are free from said skirt-sections. The flap 34 is arranged to lie normally-within the outline of the skirt section to which it is permanently attached, and the flap 34 is arranged to proj ect normally beyond the outline of the skirt portion to which said flap 34 is permanently attached, The skirt-sections ll 11" are provided adjacent to their upper outer edges with incline pockets 3737", having diagonal slits or months 38 38"., respectively. The skirt-section 11 is provided,

upon its outer side adjacent to its vertical edge and directly below the casing 23 with a button 39, and the skirt-section 11 is provided-at its corresponding place with a button hole 40 adapted to engage with the button 39 of the skirt-section 11".

When the garment is to be worn as a long coat, as illustrated at Fig. 1, it merely be" comes necessary'to attach the skirt-portion 11 by means of the button holes 26 to the buttons 15 arranged upon the outer surface of the coat-portion 10'below the flap 14;.

When the coat is to be worn as a shortcoat, or Norfolk jacket-, as illustrated at Fig. 2, it merely becomes necessary to detach the skirt-portion 11 from the coat-portion .10 by releasingthe button holes 26 of the same from the buttons 36 on the flap 34, and said flapll l then brought forward and the six button holes 36 thereof en- 'gaged with the corresponding number of buttons 33* secured upon the lower portion of the flap 31 arranged at the outer or free edge of the skirt-portion 11, and the buttons 36? of the flap '34 engaged with the correspondingly located button holes 33 in the lower portion-of the flap 31 arranged along the outer edge of the skirt section 11". Hereupon the remaining buttons 33 of the flap 31 'arecaused to engage with the correspondingly located button holes 33 arranged in the upper portion'of the flap 31 of the skirt-section 11*, thus forming apair of trousers. adjusted in position upon the wearer, the draw string 24: is tightened along the waist and the ends thereof secured together, as illustrated at Fi 3. The lower portion of each leg section is adapted to be secured in position upon the leg of the wearer by tightening up, the draw strings 29 29", and scour-- ing the ends thereof together in order to produce the baggy eifect seen at Fig. '3.

It will be noted that by means of my combined garment, I am enabled to produce a coat of two diiferentforms, namely, along coat and a short coat, or Norfolk jacket, and when the skirt-portion of the coat is detached from the body-portion thereof, the same may be. converted into a pair of knee When the trousers have been.
